Obama on guns
Well, no one should be surprised that a Democrat from Illinois wants to ban guns:
Standing before a church congregation that has witnessed inner-city violence firsthand, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Sunday that more must be done to end a social ill that is “sickening the soul of this nation.”
Obama told churchgoers at the Vernon Park Church of God on Chicago’s South Side that too many young lives are being claimed by violence and more must be done to combat the problem.
“From South Central L.A. to Newark, New Jersey, there’s an epidemic of violence that’s sickening the soul of this nation,” the Illinois senator told the crowd. “The violence is unacceptable and it’s got to stop.”
Nearly three dozen Chicago students have been killed this year, according to Chicago Public Schools. Obama said that figure is higher than the number of Illinois serviceman who’ve died in Iraq in 2007.“We need to express our collective anger through collective action,” Obama said.
He said the government needs to permanently reinstate an assault weapons ban and close regulatory loopholes that protect unscrupulous gun dealers.
The ban on weapons that look like assault weapons did nothing to prevent crime.

Once again, he doesn’t hate guns, he hates a free people with guns. Just like his mayor.
They actually love guns or they wouldn’t surround themselves with so many of them. It is the free citizen they hate. A disarmed man is a subject. They love them, also.
They love guns and subject and many of their subjects revel in not being free men. Feel the love.

I’m glad he “got the message out” early enough to drive a stake though the campaign … thanks for the linky!

“It is the free citizen they hate. A disarmed man is a subject.”
Exactly! The Demlibs want to turn the USA into a socialist nation and they cant do that if citizens are armed.
What amazes me the most about the demlibs is their constant hollering about their “rights” yet they work overtime trying to deny rights to others.
